October 23 at Robinsons Place Lipa, cosplayers from different parts of Batangas and beyond gathered for Cosplay United: The Beginning. With the huge tarpaulin backdrop on the stage of the Activity Area, the event title and the corresponding images posed something to look forward to.

And in three, two, one…

The event started a bit late and the first few hours of the day were spent on registration of the participants. Good thing Jackie knows the word calm. Keep calm, keep your cool. I personally have lost a few strings that day, haha.

In case you never heard about the event, there were three competitions incorporated in this Grand EB for the members of Cosplay United, the group that we formed to unite the different groups of cosplayers here in Batangas.

The first competition which was the Chibi, intended for kiddie cosplayers, turned into a simple presentation as there were only three Chibi cosplayers who came. They were so cuuuute. And they’ve got very supportive parents. Kudos to them.

Our cosplay event would not have been possible without, of course, the support of the CU members who were there to participate — the cosplayers of Batangas City Cosplayers (BCC), ARIDFAS Visual Arts (AVA) from BSU, and BRIJE (DLSL cosplayers). We were glad that there were contest participants who signed in to become a CU member. Can’t wait for the community to grow.

BCC performed two skits which were both appreciated by the crowd. Then, also part of the CU members grand EB were some activities which were intended to make them socialize among themselves.

You know what’s interesting about these cosplayers? They hold on to something that they are very passionate about. With that, they are able to work on their creativity. And hey, it’s another form of self-expression!

It may have started later than the targeted time but when the competition proper began, eyes were glued on the stage. Fifty-three cosplayers competed for the Regular category (characters portrayed were with not-so complicated costumes) and five contend for the Mecharmor category (robots, characters with intricate armored costumes).

There were a few crowd favorites. I can remember how the audience laughed (yes, laugh talaga) and cheered for Angry Bird. Haha. We had a hard time getting over that guy. S’ya kasi yung makulit na ilang beses kaming pinuntahan sa registration. I thought nang-aasar lang, haha. Winner ka boy!

Yes, Alfie Medina as Angry Bird won 1st Place in the Regular category. Winning at 2nd Place was Leah Teresa Mayor (who portrayed a character from Blood Rites MMORPG) and at 3rd Place was Mavick Yaco as Lunatic Charm.

When we gathered the Mecharmor contestants on stage, whoa! I can imagine Megan Fox and my guy Shia Labeouf. Huge, detailed costumes made of rubber sheets and paper maché. Bagging the 1st Place is Heron Bayanin as Jinouga of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd. Tied at 2nd Place were Red Daylusan as War Machine and Noel Lapdasan as Optimus Prime.

Kudos to all the cosplayers for putting up a good fight. It was worth the wait, we do hope all of you had fun yesterday. Oh, by the way, for cosplayers out there who want to be a member of Cosplay United, log on to www.cosplayunited.com!

Special thanks to our sponsors: Robinsons Place Lipa, Robinsons Place Department Store, and Jollibee.

Well, admit it, you’ll love to shop more when items are on sale, right?

Yesterday, Communications Head, Miss D and I went to SM City Batangas to cover its 3-Day Sale. She also had a hosting gig for the Global Handwashing Day event. Yes, people might not know that part of our work was to enjoy roaming around the mall. Sad to say, we’re not able to shop as we expected (GCs were not accepted when there’s mallwide sale).

Oh well, as expected, there are many people craving for lots of stuffs as they are up for grab on discounted prices.

Up to 70% discount on selected items, everyone’s grabbing their own items.

Until we left the mall and I saw that people really took advantage of SM City Batangas’ 3-Day Sale.

Sale is not over; you do have still time to look for some cool items to buy tonight until tomorrow, October 16, so hurry and drop by at SM City Batangas as early as you can.

Global Hand Washing Day

Before we enter the mall to check on the mallwide sale, a short program was held at the mall’s entrance.

Dubbed as Global Hand Washing, it was all about the proper way of washing our hands.

Respected guests, together with the selected boy scouts and girl scouts, demonstrated the ways on how to wash our hands properly.

Good thing that SM conducted a program like this, for it is important for us to learn simple things that can keep us away from sickness.

This, by the way, is in partnership of SM Cares, DOH, DepEd, and Uniliver.
